Dh Question

Hi Everyone,

Can you tell me if DH can show up mildly inbetween fingers or on the feet?

My son gets teeny tiny bumps (can barely see them) clear liquid

in them and itch like mad! They come and go, do not spread and do not become

huge.

Can someone have DH outbreaks only once in awhile, or is it continous?

My dad has them so terrible his legs are scarred and COVERED with sores...

He never went to the doctor until he was 83! He suffered with it, and thought

he had a skin ailment from WW2. Very sad he has had to go through this his entire life. It wasn't until i saw pictures and all of his symptoms that I told him what I thought he had and he tested postive for Cel. Anyhow, his aren't anything like

my sons...however, I was wondering if there are different degree's.

Any info appreciated. THX

I'm relatively new to the forum, but was diagnosed with DH last September, and subsequently celiac as well. I don't know anything about Dyshidrosis, but I do know that when I have a flare up, MANY times, it's on/between my fingers. I haven't had sores appear on my feet, but from what I understand if you have DH, the break outs can vary from person to person. Considering that your dad had DH and Celiac, it wouldn't be far-fetched that your son would have it. Have you ever been screened for Celiac? You are predisposed to it now that you know your dad had it. You don't have to present with DH to have celiac, I did, but my brother didn't. He was screened for celiac because I was diagnosed with it...and it turned out he has it. Just something to consider.

I failed to mention in my reply that it's very typical for DH lesions to break out symmetrically - i.e. both hands, or both elbows, etc.

      Digestive symptoms yet negative celiac screening

      You may know this already, but in addition to what you've described, you may also want to get a genetic test. About 1/3 of people have one of the genetic markers that are necessary (but not sufficient) for getting celiac. If your son is one of the 2/3 of people that don't have the marker then it is almost certain he does not have celiac. (The genetic test...

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      That is really interesting, especially because it points to how the gut microbiome may still stay altered in celiac disease even after going gluten-free. The idea that a fiber like inulin could help feed beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation is encouraging, although I imagine some people with celiac disease or other gut issues might still need to introduce...

      Digestive symptoms yet negative celiac screening

      @Irishgirl5, it does sound possible for those numbers to fluctuate a bit, especially when they are near the upper end of normal, but ongoing symptoms still make it understandable that you are concerned. The fact that his tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A is still technically in range does not always make the picture feel any clearer, especially with...

      trehalose intolerance

      @Stegosaurus, that is really interesting, and it sounds like you have done a lot of careful digging into what might be driving your symptoms. The connection between dysbiosis, food reactions, and specific additives or sugars is clearly complicated, but your point about hidden ingredients and individual tolerance makes a lot of sense. It is also encouraging...

The idea that a fiber like inulin could help feed beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation is encouraging, although I imagine some people with celiac disease or other gut issues might still need to introduce it carefully depending on tolerance. It definitely feels like an area worth watching, because anything that could help support healing beyond just avoiding gluten would be valuable.

      @Irishgirl5, it does sound possible for those numbers to fluctuate a bit, especially when they are near the upper end of normal, but ongoing symptoms still make it understandable that you are concerned. The fact that his tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A is still technically in range does not always make the picture feel any clearer, especially with tummy pain, nausea, constipation, and diarrhea still going on. Anxiety can certainly add to gastrointestinal symptoms, but I can see why you would not want to assume that explains everything. It sounds like keeping an eye on things and being cautious with diet changes makes sense, especially if symptoms continue. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      @Stegosaurus, that is really interesting, and it sounds like you have done a lot of careful digging into what might be driving your symptoms. The connection between dysbiosis, food reactions, and specific additives or sugars is clearly complicated, but your point about hidden ingredients and individual tolerance makes a lot of sense. It is also encouraging that you found something, like the fermented Florastor approach, that seems to help you tolerate certain foods better. Posts like this are helpful because they remind people that sometimes the reaction is not just about the obvious ingredient on the label.
